Empanadas Restaurants near Flushing, NY

“Ambiance is not great but the food is good and affordable. Our server Sorelly was awesome. They don’t sell fruit juices only coffee, soda and water. There is also additional charge for gratuity and credit card processing fee. Anytime I am in the area I stop in to get a nice bowl of lentejas.“

“Great place to eat! I definitely recommend the Churrasco 🥩.“

“A hidden gem nestled in the heart of Sutton Place, 787 Coffee curates an exceptional coffee and pastry experience. Their infused coffee beans make for a unique treat each time. The attention to detail here is gratefully refreshing in a city where most coffee enterprises sell mass-produced goods. 787 offers a much needed pleasant respite.“

“My latte. Wow. Amazing. And the ladies were so sweet too!“

“Awesome spot. Really good coffee and atmosphere“

“Best Empanadas I've had! Great black owned business in NY, Everyone at my job loves this place“

“Everything was so good. We ordered a variety - including their chicken, jalea (think fried seafood mix DONE RIGHT), empanadas, chaufa, and flan. I'm not a flan person, but this was THE BEST FLAN I've ever had.
The empanadas are baked, perfectly seasoned, and feel homemade with love. The owners were so attentive and thoughtful, giving us great recommendations. I would 100% be back.“

“The food was absolutely delicious! We tried the tequeños, a cachapa, an empanada, an arepa and a pan. Authentic Venezuelan. The service was also phenomenal. Go there!

“Great Customer Service Quick service“

“One of my favorite spots in town. They have an awesome variety of the most creative flavors. I try to change up my order each time, but I especially love the Humita (corn and béchamel sauce) and the mushroom, basil oil and cheese. Each empanada is stuffed so they are fun to split and share with others. The dipping sauces also go so well with each empanada.“

“Excellent place!!! Everything is top- notch!!! Highly recommended!“

“Everything on the menu is a must . It’s definitely a Go to spot when you’re in the city nyc !!!“

“This place slaps. I come here pretty often and have tried a lot on the menu—it never disappoints! The nachos are done the proper way (fresh fried tortillas quartered, individually topped, and baked, rather than just a pile of chips with things plopped on). The chilaquiles are dope. Their salsas are great, too!“

“Overall very good but not amazing. I think I was expecting more basque and less burgers and wings on menu. Burrata to me was the best thing I tasted. Limited menu
That night when we went. The decor and ambiance I think really adds to the unique experience.“

“Seating is limited - the food fresh and tasty- NYC rated A restaurant- staff friendly“

“Excelente servicio y comida . En pocas palabras una experiencia distinta“

“I pass this place all the time but never thought to stop in. Big mistake! The other morning I finally decided to give it a try and ordered a late breakfast via DoorDash. I went with the Venezuelan Breakfast, and wow, it was incredible. The shredded beef was perfectly seasoned, the caraotas (black beans) were flavorful, and the arepa was easily one of the best I’ve ever had. The scrambled eggs and sweet maduros rounded everything out and made the meal so satisfying. Now I can’t wait to explore more of their menu. Highly recommend!“

“I love going there i always get nice stuff and yes it's a 5“

“Cozy cafe with lots of sofas and comfy chairs, it’s a lovely place to meet people, work or sit and read. Homemade strawberry and hibiscus iced tea was delicious. There was one person that appeared to be running the show on a busy Saturday afternoon but she was so friendly and kind despite it.“

“Small spot, not a lot of seating. The woman at the counter not the most welcoming but nice enough. The coconut flan was absolutely delicious ($5). Not too sweet. Very creamy. My mom is a flan snob since she makes it herself, and she loved it!“

“After 3+ years in the DC area looking for a traditional taste of Colombia I am happy I found it at Girasol Colombian Bakery located in Reston VA. The Tamales were EXCELLENT! And delivery service timming was impeccable. Five starts to this business because of its food and service quality!“

“It is an excellent place, good food, good prices, the staff is friendly and serves quickly, the place is clean, safe to eat and hang out. I recommend it. It seems like a good place. I have eaten there for years and it has always been a restaurant that I like to return to.

Vegetarian options: It is not a restaurant focused on vegetarian food but they sell salads, juices and a person who does not eat meat can still enjoy a good meal.

Kid-friendliness: It is a clean, quiet place, the staff is friendly and polite and the restaurant in my opinion does not represent any risk for a minor.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp so that a person in a wheelchair or other device that supports walking has the accessibility of being able to enter the premises without major difficulties.“

“This is the best smoothie place hands down. You need to get your smoothie done by a girl, not a guy. Preferably the chunky girl.They make it perfect. Not too liquidated, just perfect frothy texture. Anytime I cheat on this place I’m like why did I do it? And they make the beeestttt empanadas. Not too oily , just perfectly cooked. I love this place. And thank god I don’t live near because I would easily weigh 600 pounds.“

“What a lovely spot, the woman at the counter was super friendly too and the chimis were the best I’ve had if I’m being honest, very well seasoned, me and my gf split a chicken and steak chimi, steak was my fav I’ll for sure be coming back :)“

“Best food in Queens and they do deliveries too and dont forget to order the passion fruit slushies!“

“BB Empanadas is the definition of fast, friendly, and flavorful. The service is consistently great — you pop in, grab your food, and you’re on your way in no time. Perfect for a quick bite without sacrificing quality. Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious empanadas with zero hassle.“

“Best after hour spot.. ��� delicious food“

“the best I've had in years“

“I went today and omg it was great. Delicious fresh empanadas. I highly recommend empanada city ❤️“

“The sweetest, most caring employees. Always make sure nobody feels rushed while also making sure everyone’s orders get out in a timely manner. Food is authentic - great lunch deals for when you’re in a rush but want a complete meal. It’s open 24hrs hence at times it’s a little slower bc there is less staff but overall, always a pleasure doing business with them ?✨??“

“They sell super authentic, affordable and super flavorful pastelitos (Dominican fried empanadas), but don’t let the fact they’re fried scare you away! They make them with different fillings, and they truly don’t disappoint. With many empanada spots opening up, they do not compare because the pricing is high or the flavor is lacking. Here the experience is worth every penny, especially the pastelitos de cangrejo (crab empanada) they make.No hay nada más auténtico que un pastelito hecho con mucho amor. No te arrepentirás, te lo aseguro.“

“The restaurant was very neat, tidy and clean. The food is delivered in less than 10 minutes. The service was very friendly and personable. The supervisor was very accommodating to the new hire and to the customers as well. I ordered a chimichanga with extra spice. It hit the spot. I would come out to Bronx again.9/10

Vegetarian options: They can substitute and beans for any meat.“

“Had the Fish Tacos for my very first time, never tried it before. Was not disappointed!! Family member went to purchase some food items from, Elmont Fish Market, one of those items were the Fish Tacos for me to take home for lunch. When I got home and sampled the Fish Tacos, I was blown away!!They were delicious, fresh, well seasoned, tasty, and full of flavor!! "Yummy!"“

“Food and service is good as ever so 5 stars, but they changed the menu and all my favorite things are gone. No steak salad, no sweet potato fries, burgers and hot dogs are changed up and not as unique/not as many choices. Will miss the old menu, don’t live in the neighborhood anymore and wont be making the trek out until they change the menu again, used to be my favorite place to eat. Good luck.“

“**The Empanada Spot – A Hidden Gem That Just Became My Obsession ★★★★★**

I’ve driven past The Empanada Spot a hundred times and always told myself “one day.” Well, that “one day” finally happened last week when a late-night craving hit. Let me tell you: I walked in curious and left absolutely mind-blown.

These are not your average empanadas. I ordered the classic beef, and when they handed me the bag I could already hear the faint sizzle through the paper. One bite and I legitimately stopped in the middle of the parking lot — the dough is perfection. Golden, flaky on the outside, soft and slightly chewy within, with that ideal crisp edge that shatters just right. The filling? Juicy, perfectly seasoned ground beef with a depth of flavor that makes you wonder how something so simple can taste this good. It was still piping hot, the kind of hot that forces you to do the little “blow-on-it” dance, and I’m not even mad about it.

What elevated the whole experience was the vibe inside. Even late at night, the staff greeted me like I was a regular they’d been waiting for all day. Smiles everywhere, genuine enthusiasm when I asked what their favorite was, and zero rush even though they were clearly winding down. It felt like walking into a friend’s kitchen who just happens to make world-class empanadas.

I’m already plotting my return — the chicken, the cheese pull on the queso ones, maybe the spicy pork if I’m feeling bold. The Empanada Spot didn’t just satisfy a late-night craving; it created a new addiction.

If you’ve been sleeping on this place like I was, do yourself a favor and go. Your taste buds will thank you, and you’ll probably end up writing a review just as obnoxiously enthusiastic as this one. 11/10, no notes. See you in line.“

“After a long day at Yankee Stadium, my son and I were feeling pretty hungry and decided to explore the area. We stumbled upon this restaurant quite by chance. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, which made us feel comfortable right away.

My son was especially ravenous, and he ate every single bite of his meal—something he rarely does! He kept telling me how delicious his food was, which really made me happy. Overall, it was a great find after a busy day, and we left feeling satisfied and happy.

I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good meal nearby. We’ll be returning next time we’re in the area!“
